Going Back To The Motherland

Hey ladies, I purposely haven't started a post about my personal life in soo long but i'm bursting with anticipation! In 6 days, count 'em 1-2-3-4-5-6. I will be in Zimbabwe with my honey. 24 days without work, cell phones, Ray-Ray an' dem callin me for a favor. Nah-Ting!
The only thing I can't get used to is sharing the planning duties. FH was like, "I can't wait for you to get here so we can plan" and I'm thinking "Plan what?" Well, wonder of wonders, he wants input on our wedding! Can I loosen by control freak grip long enough to pretend like I'm going to use his ideas . . . kidding, kind of . . .

Re: Going Back To The Motherland

That's great Musik! Zimbabwe for 24 days -- truly awesome! From what I hear, (my church has a branch there) is a wonderful place. Enjoy your time with your honey. A word of advice (I had to learn this the hard way -- LOL!!) it's your fh's wedding day too. I think it is a wonderful thing that he wants to share with the planning. Good luck!

Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37

Girl, pretend, pretend, pretend to be listening. lol Say uh huh, that's a great idea. Girl, fake it. lmao Just kidding. Take his ideas into consideration but if you don't like them (which we don't MOST of the time) just act like you're going to act on it. Then say such and such came up or that's not going to work because.... Girl, you know us women have a way of faking/pretending. lol

Congrats on going to Zimbabwe - enjoy yourself to the fullest (which I know you will). :-)

Re: Going Back To The Motherland

Thanks for all the well wishes ladies! I got back 8 hours ago and the trip was amazing. Met FH's siblings and passed the subtle housewife tests his Mom left for me around the house (funny). They welcomed me with open arms and it really eased FH's anxiety about future get-togethers. I come from a small family (1 sister, 2 cousins, deceased parents) so it feels great to acquire 2 sisters, 1 brother, and 2 nieces in one swoop. It was heaven but i'm happy to be home. FH will be on this side in July so i don't have to wait too long.

P.S. He gave up trying to help me plan the wedding because of the distance and is going to focus on the Zimbabwe ceremony, YES! (la, la, la-la, la, i don't have to sha-are!)
